Swisscom and Ericsson—already engaged in a strategic partnership wherein Ericsson serves as the network supplier for Swisscom's entire mobile network, are now planning to further strengthen their collaboration. With the introduction of MPN Private, Swisscom is launching a fully standalone Mobile Private Network (MPN) offering based on Ericsson's private 5G network portfolio. MPN Private is designed specifically for business customers and is pre-integrated to ensure rapid service delivery and enable advanced and intelligent operation in any environment, with sensitive data protected on-premise.

The solution is based on Ericsson's dual-mode core technology offering simultaneous 4G and 5G connectivity, enabling a wide range of use cases for both indoor and outdoor environments. With MPN Private, companies use their own Ericsson Private 5G core on the company premises. In combination with an in-house system, this enables a private, localized mobile network that can be operated and managed completely independently of a specific network provider. This ensures that data-intensive communication is guaranteed independently of mobile robots, digital twins, or a connected workforce, and other assets on the factory premises. The range of available services is to be further deepened and expanded in the coming months.
